Meet Dr. Bakke

Dr. Bakke has over 35 years of experience in providing the highest level of patient care. This commitment places him at the forefront of implant dentistry. He places the implants and the final restorations so his patients receive total comprehensive care in one office. This can be more convenient with a smoother completion because patients do not have to travel to multiple offices.

Dr. Bakke provides each patient with a very thoughtfully engineered treatment plan incorporating not only his surgical experience, but other clinical aspects as well. His study of neuromuscular dentistry is applied to assure correct jaw position and bite alignment. Recognizing patients’ desires for aesthetically pleasing smiles as well as highly functioning teeth, Dr. Bakke applies his extensive cosmetic training to create these beautiful smiles.

This extensive background has earned Dr. Bakke a reputation for excellence. He was a chief clinical instructor at the Las Vegas Institute (LVI) for Advanced Dental Studies where he educated dentists from around the world. He is a 1980 graduate of Baylor College of Dentistry and practiced for 24 years at the Dallas Center of Esthetic Dentistry. He relocated in 2004 to Sarasota, Fl., to be part of Dr. Jill Morris’ World Class team.
